This is the Xylobot, our submission for the Berlin Music Hack Day, held on September 18-20 at Radialsystem V.
A custom Java app receives midi data from the step sequencer and controls the Arduino over a serial connection.
The board then triggers the servos to hit on the xylophone.
The whole construction was built in under 24 hours and is mostly made of hot glue and wood.

Made by Ramsey Arnaoot and myself

    Thanks for the love, the support and for embedding this vid everyone. If it wasn’t for the great people at hackday, arduino and the monome forums, this project wouldn’t exist

    Surely it should be called Glockenbot?
  • robb 2 years ago
    Glocken is German for bells, guess that would confuse some people over here.
    Also, xylos is greek for wood and there’s plenty of wood used :)
  • Jim Howells 2 years ago
    Heh! heh! I guess you're right!

    soo cool, how would i go about getting one?
  • robb 11 months ago
    I think the construction is fairly straightforward.
    All you’ll need is an Arduino, a Glockenspiel, couple of servos and something to build the framing.

    The source code is linked to in the music hackday wiki berlin.musichackday.org/index.php?page=Xylobot

    That's great - I did something similar (check it out here: vimeo.com/20687488), but I think your is a lot more elegant.
